...we hosted some of the ninja tune folks for dinner when they were in boston for a show (mixmaster, johnas sharp...one or 2 others i can't remember at the moment)...this was also about 10 years ago.

in any case, his "irresistable force" record has a song about some killer hash marbled with opium....one of the lines is "it'l blow your head right off"

Brilliant. To translate the top of the most relevant paragraph; "as one of the few suppliers of crock-pots in the Netherlands...."

If it weren't for you I would've tried simply walking into relevant stores again. Last time I tried that I was looking for a French press. One girl looked confused, then went "so you put batteries in it and then...?"_________________Kassen

...if by american mustard you mean the bright yellow stuff....i don't touch the stuff. i like my mustard with seeds that pop in my mouth.

Yes! Next time i'm in the town where my GF's parents live I'm going to pick up some of that that now gets made by a local brewery. That can't go wrong, they already made excellent smooth dark beer and whiskey (yes, Frisian whiskey, and it's good!).

The cheese is like the mustard, spread out on a counter top and left to dry for a few days. I suggest you don't try it if it can be avoided, it's kinda like the cheese with EU Macdonald's burgers, except yet even still worse.

Pancakes for breakfast on the other hand was a good idea._________________Kassen

...there has been at least _one_ vegan treat at e-m the last 2 years...and now, according to fox news, it is a very healthy one:

Boiled Nuts Help Fight Diseases, Study Says
Monday , October 29, 2007

Boiled peanuts have more health benefits that raw, dry or oil-roasted nuts, according to researchers.

Lloyd Walker, chair of Alabama A&M University's Department of Food and Animal Sciences who co-authored the study, said these phytochemicals have antioxidant qualities that protect cells against the risk of degenerative diseases, including cancers, diabetes and heart disease.

"Boiling is a better method of preparing peanuts in order to preserve these phytochemicals," Walker said.

The study will appear in Wednesday's edition of the American Chemical Society's Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry. The other co-authors in the study are A&M researchers Yvonne Chukwumah and Martha Verghese, as well as University of Alabama in Huntsville researcher Bernhard Vogler.

Walker said peanuts and other plants use phytochemicals for things such as helping avoid disease and insect attacks.

"These things are not nutrients; at the same time they have health benefits to humans," he told The Birmingham News. "The trick is to keep those health benefits, not to process them out of the foods."

According to Walker, water and heat penetrate the nuts, releasing beneficial chemicals to a certain point. Overcooking the nuts destroys the useful elements.

Alabama is third in the nation in the amount of peanuts produced with a crop valued at more than $67 million last year.

For those that don't know, I LOVE boiled peanuts. It's something that is big in the north Florida / south Georgia redneck country where I grew up. This was before Florida became a suburb of New York. I've been preparing them at the electro-music events in Philly for the last three years. The Deknows are big fans of these. I was pleased to introduce boiled peanuts to many people who had never heard of them.

Now that I know this great news, I'll post a how-to prepare boiled peanuts to the Schmooze forum.

Some have suggested that boiled peanuts be the official food of electro-music.com. I have resisted this, but now that they are found to be actually good for you, this requires reconsideration._________________--Howard

As long as there is vegetarian on the line I have a question. I don't like the texture of real brown rice and have stooped to using Uncle Bens (please don't tell any one). Any way the question is: Does using a pressure cooker create a softer rice?
